A vinyl album with a "raw country" sound and spoken-word poetry has been flying off the shelves at a Hollywood, Calif., boutique, never mind that the artist is convicted mass murderer Charles Manson.

Manuel Vasquez, 26, co-owner of the Beauty Is Pain boutique, told ABCNews.com he has so far sold a "couple hundred" copies of the vinyl recording, which retails for $18 and includes never-before-heard tracks of Manson playing guitar. Some of the material, which Vasquez said he obtained from an "old friend" of the convict, dates back to the 1980s.

"It's him singing and playing guitar and also reciting some poetry and spoken word type stuff," Vasquez said. "[He] sounds like an old blues man or a raw country singer."

A few months ago, Vasquez became pen pals with the 77-year-old Manson, who is incarcerated at Cochran State Prison in California.

He sent Manson, whose songs have been included on albums by the Beach Boys, Guns 'N Roses and Marilyn Manson, a mini-copy of the album cover.

I wonder if he will get cheated out of his royalties?

I don't know if that was supposed to be funny or creepy, but funny missed badly if that was the aim.

It wasn't supposed to be anything. Quit trying to ridicule me.

This is ridiculous, ... our prisons are too soft.

Sometimes it is a good idea to read the article.


Manson did not make this in prison.
Manson did not put this together.

Some guy out in the world found some old recordings and put it together himself.

FROM THE ARTICLE...Manson will not receive any profits or royalties from the sale of the album.

Now I can understand if someone does not like the idea that someone would buy anything Manson.

But this is not a case of manson doing a record in prison, getting a publishing deal and selling it while making profit from it.

So there is no reason to complain about the jail system being to soft and so on and so on in this case.

No argument from me in many cases...just not this specific case.

What's all this "good idea to read the article" nonsense you speak of? .:laugh2:
